Denali for Lucy

Lucy Westlake is 13 years old and doing something Truly special.

What has come together since OEN ambassadors Zak Klein and Hannah Quimby met her in April is truly extraordinary, and may include some new world records. The short version is that a team of 6 climbers, including Zak, Hannah, Lucy and her dad are going to fly to Alaska at the end of May 2017 to spend up to three weeks on Denali 20,156 feet (6,144 m), attempting to reach its summit. If they do, this will mean (among many things!):

Lucy Westlake will become the youngest girl to reach all 50 of the highest points in every state in America.

Zak and Hannah will reach the top of "their" peak #49 (with only Hawaii left - you're invited to hike that one with them!)

Lucy and her team have climbed Denali! They are still processing their experience and are curating tons of photos and video and will post them on the facebook page as they are able. In the meantime, if you're interested in supporting OEN, please feel free to make a donation and add your inspiration or words of encouragement to Lucy in the comments box within the donation dialogue.
